“You do?” He cocks his head curiously. “Even better than the jewelry? Because I have to tell you I spent ages picking that out. I drove Logan and Tamara mad.”
“You got them to help you?”
“Hey! We helped them enough, it’s only fair.”
“Yeah, that’s true. And I love it so you clearly did very well.”
“At least I picked out our wedding rings alone.”
“Hmmm, also very true.”
“So, what’s my gift then? I’m intrigued to see what you managed to get that’s so much better than my gift.”
I hand him the parcel which is just a small paper back. It isn’t wrapped, there’s nothing about it that’s fancy, but that hardly matters. It’s what’s inside that counts. I can barely contain myself while he peels it open much too slowly. It’s hard for me not to rip it off of him to prize it open for him.
I suppose patience has never been my strong point. I barely managed it with him.
“What is this?” He pulls out the white plastic and examines it closely. “Huh? I don’t get it… it…”

“Is this what I think it is?” He stares at me, demandingly. “Are you actually… Are we…?”

“We’re having a baby!” Alistair whoops. “Oh my God, I have to be the luckiest man alive. I’m going to be a father.” He grabs me and kisses me hard. “Oh, wow, you are the best woman in the world. I love you.”
“I love you too,” I laugh. “And I’m excited too. Our own little baby. It’s going to be amazing.”
I found it at last, my very own happy ever after with a man I love more than anything in the world. I want wait to extend our family, to make that journey come true. I took a different path but I have it now and I’m never letting it go.
